It is really to bad that some modern aircraft did not happen to be transiting the airspace directly above Grantsville when the shard displaced the town. Imagine a National Guard attack helicopter being taken for a ride back in time.

There is a grid of who and what was transported in the ring of fire. Despite the persistent wishes for more technology on the part of would-be authors, what is available has been firmly established for a good many years.

Not that was included in the Ring Of Fire. There is a lot of textev devoted to the establishment and construction of the airfield in Grantville that would have been redundant if there were an existing airport.

The initial interest in doing a TV series based on the 1632 series that I reported here last year never came to fruition. That's why I haven't followed up on the steps I laid out here at the time.Recently, however, a new party has approached me on the subject. Two parties, in fact, although I think one of them probably doesn't have the resources to really be able to do it. The other party, though, is a well-established TV production company that has already produced over half a dozen successful TV series or mini-series. It's still too soon to tell if a deal will be made, but it looks promising.

Mammoth Studios officially renewed their rights to produce a TV show last month. They have a strong production history. A deal has been made with ITV for world-wide distribution, a screenwriter has already been hired and the script for the first episode has been written. Most of the discussion about this is over on the Baen's Bar forum.
